. Ik Sharia Wacii el-TTil Maadi, Egypt April 28, 1955 Dear Professor Cameron: Your gratifying letter of April 22, which I have just received, is crystal clear, though evidently there must have been a great many in­volved discussions behind it. As I thank $ou earnestly for all the trouble you have taken in this regard, I feel that I must anologize for dragging yon into these prolonged negotiations. Believe me, I fully appreciate the generous attitude taken by both the University and your person towards ny visit to Michigan. How I wish to state here formally that I accept the position as outlined in your aforementioned letter. To be explicit, tho terms of the agreement nay be summed up in the followings $3600.- Tax exemption $1000.- Travel grant 13080,- .After wltholding taxes f'7&80.- Total of atrial payments - ternal Revenue on departure 'Dins return from In- Judging from your personal report when you honored me with your visit in Cairo, I feel sure that that total will amply take care of the requirements of my family during our stay with you for the academic year. It is extremely difficult for me to draw on my account in Cairo because of dollar difficulties in Egypt, and I have to depend entirely on my income at the other end. The question of the Fellowship and Lectureship is not at all object­ionable ? and I agree to your proposals in this matter. The only thing that matters is service, and I hope that my year with you will prove to be a beneficial time for all those who have to do with me. I have already sent you the children's school forms, and I am sure that they will have a profitable and pleasant year at the University school. There is another matter on which I am compelled tc ask year advice. You will of course remember our discussions about finding ad­equate living quarters. My wife and I were comparing notes about the preference of a famished flat tc a regular house with garden and heat­ing liabilities. Do you tiink it possible for us to have a four room flat with all the necessary conveniences at Ann Arbor? Naturally my wife would like to economize in the house work and service as much as possible. She knows America quite well. I trust I am not adding more ourdens to others which you have already shouldered on my behalf. With every good wish and again many thanks, Very sincerely yours.
